What better and more efficient way to see Europe than via Eurail or Interrail? For those of you who don’t know what they are, they’re handy train passes that allow you to travel the continent on the rails–with up to 30 countries to chose from. The package you buy determines how many days of travel you’re allowed, but most people head out for at least one month.

But traveling the continent by train can be a lot. To make things a little easier for you, here’s a quick and easy list of some of the top-rated places to eat in each major city of the countries included in the passes. Rated by hungry travelers and locals alike, you’re sure to find something. And better yet, they’re all right by the train station so you’re sorted as soon as you arrive.

This spot is a big deal and has attracted quite a fan-base.

This place is v trendy. It’s a coffee shop/restaurant/computer centre/information centre during the day and then transforms into a bar/club at night. You could literally stay here all day long and have everything you need.

London is an expensive place to eat out so you’re lucky that this gem is so close to Kings Cross. Thin, crispy, fire-baked pizzas attract the crowds at a relatively cheap price. It’s not a fancy venue but the pizza sure is good.

Located in Stockholm’s east station, this place brings in the locals even when they aren’t catching a train. The lunch is pretty affordable and the menu changes daily so fulfil your adventurous side and see what’s on offer.

OK, two things to remember: Switzerland (especially Zurich) is super expensive and it has a strong Italian (as well as German and French) influence.
